A PARTNERSHIP BUILT ON TRUST

Trust in the process. It’s okay to be sceptical and to have doubt, but when you challenge every part of the spiritual process, it can actually hamper your development and keep you frustrated. For instance, in my early meditations, I would consistently call on my daughter in spirit to connect with me. While I sat still, focused on my breath, I would see bright, colourful waves of pink and violet behind my eyes. But I wanted more. I asked and implored my daughter to send me proof that she was around me. Over and over again in my meditations, I called on my daughter, and I would see pink and violet bursts of colour, the most peaceful and joyful shades I had ever seen. I realized, here was all the proof I needed to be certain that she was with me! I had called on her and she had answered me.

When I stopped doubting that the spirit world could hear my prayers, and being sceptical of my ability to connect to my daughter, only then was I ready for more information from the spirit realm. To stop challenging the process is to welcome the opening of your spiritual gifts. When you trust that the spirit world is always present, you can move on to the next step of expanding your spiritual abilities. If you constantly doubt that your loved one is present and more than willing to communicate with you; if you, moreover, continually descend into scepticism, it will only be more difficult to move past that point into a state of trust in a process that you may not always understand.

As you continue to trust, your loved ones and guides will communicate with you more, and together you will grow into a partnership built on trust. None of this can happen without this ideal partnership. You will see that different stages in your development will require more trust on your part. For you to progress further, you may need to take a leap of faith as you venture into new areas of working with spirit such as Reiki, or hands-on healing, and mediumship, (when one brings through messages from a loved one who has crossed into the spirit realm). Trust that Spirit will never let you down. There is immense joy when you try something new and gain a broader understanding of that special spiritual partnership with Spirit, which ultimately brings healing to yourself and to those around you. The spiritual realm is built upon the energy of unity, service and gratitude. When you match the energy of the spirit world with your own energy and readiness to work together, anything is possible.

HONOURING THE SELF

The Council
Through Heather Scavetta
An excerpt from a personal reading
June 11, 2013


(I see you walking through a lush valley with people behind and to the side of you)

Welcome, We are The Council. You have been with us many times before. For you are one who is searching, who is learning how to trust.

There have been many situations that you have called upon yourself to allow yourself to experience, what it takes not only to trust others, but to trust yourself. There are those who depend on you. Ones who walk with you. They too have desires and wishes of their own, but they are joined to you in this experience for not only their own growth, but to support you.

You look out and see what is there for you to see, but there is an energy that runs deeper than your perceptions. Right now, it is time and space. You are here on the earth and this living entity offers herself to you so that you are able to experience yourself in a finite way. What is it like for a soul so grand to play a little while in a body? How do you contain freedom?

This is part of why you struggle for it is true this is not home for you. And so you seek, search and look for a place to call home, when indeed this is only temporary. And so, what you seek on a superficial level is not what will bring you comfort for there is a deeper solution for you to acknowledge. Wherever you are, where you roam, where ever you look it is the same. The scenery may look different, people may come and go, situations may change and yet there is a part of you who knows no change who knows only now who understands only joy. And so, as you choose to experience this physical finite life, how do you contain yourself here, or do you have to? Can you experience your soul here on earth now? How is this possible?

There are those who can give you clues to this. There are those who wish you well. Those who give you comfort and support and those who give you a hard time. All are serving a purpose, all are helping you to understand the self.

There is a part within you that is that wanderer, that never feels quite secure where you are although you try. And so, can you acknowledge this part of yourself and know that it is fully accessible and you are able to integrate this into your existence as well.

Try to see your life beyond what others tell you for they do not know you, only you know yourself. If you must, then move, if you must, then stay. You can only honour the self. To live another’s choices, to live another’s life, is to dishonour the self. There are those who will come with you on this journey and then there are those who will let you go. This too is part of the experience. How much do you alter yourself to please another? How much do they alter themselves to please you?

Within the universe there is the law of balance. All will self-correct at one point. And so, you need not concern yourself with this now, instead ask yourself, “Is this where I want to be, is this what I want to do?”. Look beyond the rewards of the world. Look beyond what people tell you is success. Look beyond your perceptions for all is form, all is like another. Your true home knows what is real. Your true home honours you and everyone else. And so, as you go about your daily chores, ask yourself, does this serve me, does this serve others? And then you will know what is appropriate and what is good for you. No one can make these choices for you, including us, for this is not our role.
